Chapter 450 Father's filial piety
Thanks to Golden Alliance Health First for the tip)
Chen De's words were like a boulder smashed into the calm lake, which suddenly caused an uproar and shocked everyone's hearts.
What does it mean that Han Qian left Fanchang City with people?
There was silence in the lobby for a moment, and everyone looked at Chen De in shock, suspecting that their ears had heard it wrong, or that Chen De had just drunk too much wine and was talking nonsense.
Chen De is one of the few relatives of the concubine who can be trusted in the court, strictly speaking, he is only the cousin of the concubine's mother's family, and in the early years in the army, he was just a middle-level military attache at the level of deputy battalion commander.
Although Chen De did not have any special merits, he was also loyal and conscientious in Yang Yuanpu, and he rose all the way.
In addition to being a good gambler, Chen De is not sloppy.
At this time, he stood up like a cat whose tail had been burned by fire, holding the letter that Xiao Xiao had just handed to him, and said to Yang Yuanpu: "Han Qian has already left the city, leaving this letter, saying that it is handed over to His Highness and your lords......"
Chen De was also shocked, standing there and talking stiffly, forgetting to hand over the letter left by Han Qian to Yang Yuanpu as soon as possible, and couldn't help but look down first.
Han Qian is out of the city?
At this time, everyone confirmed the news, and their hearts were even more turbulent, and countless thoughts flooded in their hearts.
What does Han Qian mean by this, he can't hold it back, and he wants to rush to Langxi to incite the Zuoguang German army to rebel?
Or maybe Han Qian couldn't bear the suppression and persecution of His Royal Highness, and had already secretly colluded with Anning Palace?
Not to mention Li Pu, Han Daoming and others, Zheng Yu and Yang Zhitang also seemed to have been poured a basin of ice water on their heads at this moment, their hearts seemed to be shrouded in hundreds of millions of clouds, and they sat there sluggishly as if they had been shocked, and they couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would be once Han Qian turned his face and went to the Anning Palace.
Zhang Ping also sat there with a pale face, and he didn't expect Han Qian's reaction to be so fierce and unbearable, so he went out of the city directly.
Where will Han Qian go after he leaves the city?
Yang Yuanpu seemed to have been smashed hard with a hammer, and for a moment his mind was blank, and the hand that grabbed the wine glass couldn't help but tremble.
"Immediately chase Han Qian with cavalry, be sure to take him back to Fanchang, life or death does not matter!" Li Puhuo Ran stood up and shouted to His Royal Highness's guards on duty, forgetting that only the orders of Yang Yuanpu and Chen De could take effect on the Su guards at this time.
Li Puman thought in his heart that once Han Qian was ordered to flee to Langxi and successfully rendezvous with Zuo Guang's German army, no matter whether they could succeed in annihilating Han Qian and the rebellious Zuo Guang German army, he knew in his heart how fatal the whole thing would be to the excellent situation of Yueyang's soldiers and horses besieging Jinling, and it might even directly lead to the collapse of their plan to besiege Jinling.
The only way was to send out all the cavalry and catch or kill them on the spot before Han Qian rushed to Langxi to join Zuo Guang's German army - even if Zuo Guang's German army was destined to rebel, it would be 10,000 times better than letting Han Qian join Zuo Guang's German army.
"What did Han Qian say in the letter?" Shen Yang calmed down a little, signaled the guards who came into the hall to be restless, and asked Chen De.
Since this letter is said to be addressed to His Highness and all the princes present, it is not too late for them to wait until they understand the contents of this letter before disposing of it.
No matter how urgent things are, they won't be short of that.
Chen De looked at Yang Yuanpu inquiringly.
Yang Yuanpu waved his face pale and weakly, and motioned for Chen De to read out the contents of the letter left by Han Qian.
Since Han Qian clearly said that this letter was reserved for him and everyone present, no matter how big the crisis is, it will depend on everyone to get through it together, and there is really no need to hide the content of the letter; Those present today are eligible to participate in the secrecy.
As for Ruan Yan and Yin Peng, it doesn't matter if they are present at this time.
If there really is a secret matter in the letter that should not be passed on, it is a big deal to detain them or kill them directly.
"Your Royal Highness, Mr. Shen Yang and the princes are above, the micro-minister Han Qian has a perverse and arrogant temperament, and he acts with many swords and goes sideways, and the princes do not remember the old evil and can treat it kindly. The father of his heart was sincere, he was brutally tortured and died, and his heart was still thinking about the world of war and chaos, and he was worried that the people of Li were like ants and could not cross the sea of fire, and left a bloody letter to show his ministers before his execution, in addition to being loyal to His Royal Highness, this is the root of Weichen's resolute decision to go to Jinling. His Royal Highness knows that the grace of the encounter is very long, and it is difficult to repay one or two broken bones, and it is the autumn of chaos, Wechen should bow and do his best by His Highness's side, and then die, but his father's filial piety is in his body, Wechen will never dare to abolish the big gift to talk about marriage, and he does not want His Highness to be forced by Chuzhou, Wechen can only return to Xuzhou without telling him to keep his father's funeral, and implore His Highness to forgive Weichen's sins! ”
Chen De's hand trembled slightly, and he held up the letter, and continued to read the sermon in a stammering manner.
Everyone looked at each other and thought, what the is this?
Han Qian's father is filial, and he can't get married when it comes to etiquette, and Chuzhou is forced to marry him, he doesn't want His Highness to be embarrassed, so he pats his ass and leaves?
However, this is a world where filial piety is put out at every turn, but it is a justifiable reason to say that you are not afraid of others' accusations!
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and Han Qian has to keep filial piety, so before Yang Yuanpu opened his mouth to ask him to accept the marriage, he left Fanchang to avoid falling into the dilemma of being in a dilemma, loyalty and filial piety, all of which seemed to be blameless, and even praised his virtues.
If you want to complain, you can only complain about Chuzhou's proposal to marry, forcing Han Qian to leave and leave Fanchang City.
Everything is so high-sounding!
Everyone looked at each other at this time, first, they didn't know if Han Qian could believe what he said in the letter to Xuzhou, and second, they didn't know whether to send soldiers and horses out of the city to intercept Han Qian.
The saying of filial piety is on the surface, and everyone is not a three-year-old child.
Before, Han Qian said that he would hand over the military power after the war in the name of filial piety, and everyone thought that he was using filial piety to play the trick of retreating into advance, could it be that everyone really believed that he was the most filial person this time?
Filial piety is more often just an excuse for politicians, such as Li Pu, Zheng Yu, Han Daoming, Zheng Chang and others who supported the concubine to have the right to decide in the palace, which was in the name of filial piety.
And filial piety has more time to be a bargaining chip for politicians.
For example, Yang Yuanpu thinks that Han Qian should know the advance and retreat, so he will agree to Han Qian's return to Xuzhou in the name of filial piety, or Yang Yuanpu thinks that Han Qian should stay by his side, and only need to take affection for Han Qian's filial piety in the name of national affairs.
Did Han Qian really leave because he kept filial piety and didn't get married, or did this marriage provide the best excuse for Han Qian to say goodbye without saying goodbye, everyone here is an old vixen, can't they even tell the difference?
At this time, another captain who looked like a guard walked into the lobby, walked behind Li Pu and whispered.
Like another fox with a burning tail, Lipp opened his mouth wide in shock, not knowing what to say.
"What's going on?" Shen Yang was quite calm and opened his mouth to ask.
"Gao Chengyuan sent someone to report, saying that the Privy Council issued a secret order an hour ago, and Yang Qin led his troops out of the camp, Gao Chengyuan thought that something was not quite right, and when he learned about it, he asked someone to come over to verify!" Li Pu threw a letter of order in his hand on the case like a hot potato, and said, "I have not issued such an order letter, this is not my signature, it must have been forged by Han Qian secretly!" ”
There was a dead silence in the lobby, and now the facts are very clear, Han Qian's desire to leave may not be a momentary thought, but Ruan Yan came to negotiate peace on behalf of Chuzhou and proposed a marriage with Wang Jun, which provided him with an excellent excuse.
"Someone!" Yang Yuanpu's face turned red, his forehead was bruised, and he was about to call someone in and order troops to chase and escape.
"Your Highness, Han Qian returned to Xuzhou to keep filial piety for his father, and there was no loss in courtesy, His Highness should fulfill his will." Shen Yang saw that Yang Yuanpu was angry and defeated like a wayward child who had lost all the candy, and he didn't dare to call him willful, adding mistakes to his anger, so he hurriedly walked to the center of the hall and knelt down and kowtowed, and earnestly persuaded Yang Yuanpu not to be rash.
Han Qian mobilized Yang Qin's subordinates to leave Fanchang with him, naturally he wanted to sail all the way against the current and return to Xuzhou, at least for the time being, he had no intention of joining up with Zuo Guang's German army.
At least Han Qian didn't have the intention of destroying their plan to besiege Jinling City at this time, they looked at this matter calmly and let Han Qian leave, they would find that in addition to being angry, it would not have a substantial impact on the overall situation.
Even if this matter is made public, the generals below will only deeply feel that Han Qian is a person of the highest filial piety, and it will not have a negative impact on the morale of the army and the subsequent siege of Jinling.
Even this can be said to be the biggest compromise Han Qian made to Yang Yuanpu.
Otherwise, Han Qian would have been able to make the situation even more chaotic, and he would still be able to calmly return to Xuzhou at ease.
No matter how much Yang Yuanpu resented Han Qian in his heart, at least he had to praise his ambition on the surface at this time.
That's the rule of politics.
Don't say that Yang Yuanpu has not succeeded to the throne now, even if he becomes the Nine Heavens Supreme and the Great Chu Emperor, if he wants the ministers to obey and the world to return to his heart, these rules must be followed.
Otherwise, the Three Principles and the Five Constants are all in chaos, and what excuse does the Emperor of Heaven have to demand that his subjects show their loyalty?
"Your Highness, Han Qian returned to Xuzhou to keep filial piety for his father, and there is no loss in courtesy!" Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Yang Zhitang, Zhang Ping, and even Jiang Shu and others all came back to their senses, and knelt down in front of the hall together to persuade Yang Yuanpu to calm his anger, and not to cause a big deal because of his momentary anger.
Zhang Chao tugged Li Pu's sleeve, no matter how unwilling Li Pu was, he could only follow everyone to kneel in front of the hall and persuade Yang Yuanpu to let Han Qian go back to Xuzhou.
In any case, their primary goal at present is to capture Jinling City, and when they completely control Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Huaixi, Jingxiang, and then clean up Xuzhou, isn't it just an excuse?
Yang Yuanpu looked at the front of the hall kneeling all over the ground, even Chen De and Yang Fan, who were the chief and deputy commanders of the Suwei Palace, knelt in front of the hall to show their attitude, he knew very well in his heart that so many people were against him, even if he insisted on chasing and killing Han Qian, no one would carry out his order.
It's just that the resentment that seems to be like the wild grass growing wildly in the summer is gnawing at his heart like a poisonous snake, and he can't suppress it, he turns away from everyone with hatred, like a young injured lone wolf, standing on the barren grassland......
